I was waiting for a cab at Jon's place, when i finally saw this comfort cab with the sign abovehead flashing green. Then i realised that after the sign had flashed "taxi", it had flashed "female driver". I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but to my chagrin... It WAS a female driver!

I was like "WTH!?"! Why do they have to proclaim their gender?? Just because they're female AND drivers?? This is sex discrimination at its worst!

So what if she's a female driver!? You mean she has to declare and notify any would-be passengers of her gender, because that is so telling of her competence as a driver? I'm sure that most of the car accidents in singapore are usually fronted by FEMALE drivers.

Having to declare she's a female driver is like saying being FEMALE and driving is a DISEASE. It's similar to how you have to declare your condition if you are HIV positive, for the safety of the people around you.

Disgusting, i tell you.

We live in a society where we live by the rules set by men. We are defined by the terms set by men. Even staunch feminists describe feminism in terms coined by men.

So we might as well acknowledge and embrace our fate as empowered women in a very chauvinistic world.

All men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, their codes.

With almost all doctors, population experts and drug manufacturers male, is it really a surprise that oral contraceptives were designed for women to take and men to promote?

When a man gets up to speak, people listen, then look. When a woman gets up, people look; then if they like what they see, they listen.
